When the news that Su Han was a former extra broke following the Zhuo Wei team's exposé, this hot search dominated the trending list.
The appearance of this hot search caused many netizens to express significant doubt about the matter.
Especially Zhang Zhan's fans, even after seeing the photos, refused to believe that Su Han was indeed an extra and that the production didn't have insider capital.
With such doubts, they began to visit Hengdian in person and sought out various extra coordinators.
Holding Su Han's photos, they started inquiring about him.
It was better not to inquire, but as they did, they uncovered deeper truths about Su Han.
"I know this extra! He worked with me before. This person suffered so much to become an actor. When he had no work, he ate steamed buns and drank plain water every day. You tell me, how can a grown man survive on just one steamed bun a day? I often felt pity for him and would find him work as a corpse extra or sometimes secure him a boxed meal."
"When he had no work, he'd squat by the film crews, doing odd jobs and such. It was miserable. Tsk tsk, I never expected this guy to make it to the role of the second male lead. That truly surprised me."
"You think he was maybe sexually exploited? But no director would be that perverted, right? A man..."
Subsequently, they continued to ask many extra coordinators and received similar information.
Especially when they saw the photos of Su Han doing manual labor on set and eating steamed buns, they were moved to tears!
Deeply touched by Su Han.
"We originally intended to prove that he wasn't an extra before, and why was he so miserable? *Sob sob sob*, eating just one steamed bun a day, what kind of hard life is that? How could he live?"
"He's so amazing, to have come this far from being an extra. It truly wasn't easy for him. But for us to still question his status as an extra, he's too pitiful!"
"God, this guy is too miserable. Damn it, I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for him."
...
In this way, Zhang Zhan's fans thoroughly investigated Su Han's background, and upon seeing his true history, they were all moved to tears.
That afternoon, the Zhang Zhan fan who went to investigate Su Han directly posted the entire story on Weibo.
This was an apology Weibo.
#Hello everyone, I am a die-hard fan of Zhang Zhan. I have been slandering Su Han all along, always saying that Su Han used insider capital to join the cast. After seeing the exposé from the Zhuo Wei team last night that Su Han was indeed an extra, I still didn't believe it, so I found a few friends to go and see for ourselves. #
#It was better not to look. Upon seeing it, we once again confirmed the fact that Su Han is truly an extra. However, the information we learned about him was even more heartbreaking. From the extra coordinators, we learned that in his most difficult times, he only ate one steamed bun with plain water a day. When he had no extra work, he would go help film crews with manual labor to earn money. He also often endured wind and rain, sun and submersion, taking on various extra roles that not just anyone could do. #
#I originally went to prove that he wasn't an extra, but undoubtedly, I failed! I cried, and I was moved by him. He is truly inspirational. How many years did he struggle in Hengdian? That's truly amazing. How did he do it? I am really very curious! #
#I have now gone from being a hater to a casual fan. Su Han, I have slandered you for more than half a month, and here, I want to say I am sorry. From now on, I will not indiscriminately defame someone without understanding the situation. #
...
After this apology Weibo was sent out, the heat slowly but surely increased, and eventually, this Weibo directly climbed to the hot search.
Of course, there were ten million people who resonated with this netizen!
These ten million people were Su Han's haters, and also Zhang Zhan's fans.
When they saw this Weibo, they felt a strong resonance and directly liked and commented. Many apologized to Su Han in the comments.
Many people were moved to tears upon seeing Su Han's photos and hearing his story.
They say hearts are made of flesh. These fans, when they were slandering Su Han, had one-sidedly believed what was said online about Su Han using insider capital, and thus followed the trend.
Now that all the truth is revealed, they feel deeply remorseful and ashamed.
It was with such an apology Weibo that everyone's sentiments were quickly stirred.
"Alas, I was like that before too. I kept slandering others without knowing the situation at all. I'm sorry, Su Han."
"Damn it, this made me cry. Is this the person who used insider capital that I've been slandering for the past half month? I feel so terrible."
"Five years as an extra in Hengdian? My heavens, he spent the best years of his youth in Hengdian. It seems he is very determined to become an actor. I deeply admire such people; to me, they are truly strong. As a passerby, I've decided to become a fan for now and will see how his acting is when the movie is released."
"Su Han, I'm sorry!"
"Sorry Su Han!"
This Weibo was quickly pinned to the third spot on the hot search!
The hot search title was: We All Owe Su Han an Apology!
And Su Han, seeing this hot search, was a little confused.
No... what's going on with these netizens?
Weren't they just slandering me before? Why are they all collectively apologizing to me now? What the heck is this?
Is this some kind of advanced form of hate?
Su Han didn't expect anything good. He just clicked in, saw this large-scale apology Weibo, and after carefully reading the content, he felt a bit emotional.
Before the system arrived, his years as an extra in Hengdian were indeed quite tough.
He had eaten steamed buns, gruel, and pickles for a day, endured wind and rain, sun and submersion, doing hard labor for film crews; these were all his experiences.
Back then, he didn't feel it was particularly difficult, but looking back now, he didn't know how he managed to persevere.
Thinking about it carefully, he realized he had indeed gone through a lot.
There were still two days left until the May Day release.
During these two days, the film crew began promoting the movie.
